In a multicenter study on the occupational etiology of sinonasal cancer (s.n.c.) carried out in Italy, we collected information about three cases which had arisen among glass workers: an adenocarcinoma, a melanoma, and a squamocellular carcinoma. The three men worked many years as mixers and/or batchers in artistic glass factories in Tuscany (Italy). We propose a possible etiological role of arsenic dust.

Epidemiological Features of Sinonasal Adenocarcinoma and Prognostic Nomogram: A Study Based on the SEER Database.
Cancer Control
January 2025
Department of Oncology, Suining Central Hospital, Suining, China.
Objective: Our study aimed to update demographic profiles of sinonasal adenocarcinoma (SNAC) between 2000 and 2020, identify independent prognostic risk factors, and devise a predictive nomogram for overall survival (OS).
Methods: Utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, cases of SNAC from 2000 to 2020 were analyzed for incidence trends. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models helped pinpoint factors impacting patient survival.
Impact of posterior septectomy on olfaction in endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Seoul Saint Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery is widely used to resect pituitary adenomas, yet its impact on olfactory function after resection of the posterosuperior nasal septum remains a concern. To optimize surgical techniques to preserve olfactory function, it is essential to understand the relationship between the extent of septal resection and olfactory outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 295 patients who underwent pituitary adenoma surgery.
Identification and validation of Novel Estrogen Biosynthesis Biomarkers in Sinonasal Inverted Papilloma.
Int J Med Sci

Article Synopsis
- Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) has a high recurrence rate and the potential to become malignant, but its specific metabolic pathways and biomarkers are not fully understood.
- RNA sequencing identified significant gene alterations related to the estrogen biosynthesis pathway and highlighted five key biomarkers (AKR1B10, CYP1B1, CYP2C19, CYP3A5, and HSD17B13) that were correlated with SNIP pathogenesis.
- Functional analysis indicated that these biomarkers are involved in epithelial cell proliferation and EGFR signaling regulation, suggesting their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for managing SNIP.
Fibro-osseous lesions of the sinonasal tract: a contemporary review.
Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
February 2025
Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) are benign, slow-growing lesions that are often incidentally discovered in the sinonasal cavity. They may necessitate surgical resection in patients with postobstructive sinusitis, or in cases of cranial nerve and orbital compression. We examine the recent advancements in otolaryngology relating to diagnostic characteristics and treatments for FOL, with emphasis on new technologies to improve outcomes and reduce recurrence.

DEK::AFF2 fusion nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC) is an emerging entity in the sinonasal tract, temporal bone, and skull base. However, the clinical behavior of these tumors has not been well studied. Here, we report the largest cohort of DEK::AFF2 carcinomas to determine if morphology, mitotic rate, and/or Ki-67 IHC are associated with patient outcomes, including a comparison with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated and independent patients.
